PPNScouts filter talent by position. If your profile says exactly what you are and backs it with the right stats, you show up in the right searches. Here's what each role demands.
Point guard (PG)
The floor general. Runs the offense, controls tempo and creates for others. Key skills: ball-handling, court vision, decision-making, pick-and-roll play, perimeter defense. Stats that matter: assists, assist-to-turnover ratio, steals, three-point shooting.
Shooting guard (SG)
The scorer on the wing. Spaces the floor and puts up points. Key skills: shooting off the catch and dribble, movement without the ball, secondary playmaking, on-ball defense. Stats: points, three-point and effective field-goal percentage, steals.
Small forward (SF)
The versatile wing — often the most well-rounded player on the floor. Key skills: scoring inside and out, defending multiple positions, rebounding, transition play. Stats: points, rebounds, steals, shooting splits.
Power forward (PF)
The hybrid big. In the modern game, often a "stretch four" who can shoot and defend in space. Key skills: rebounding, interior scoring, screening, and increasingly outside shooting and switch defense. Stats: rebounds, points, blocks, field-goal percentage.
Center (C)
The anchor. Protects the rim, rebounds and finishes inside. Key skills: rim protection, rebounding positioning, screening, roll/finish, and, increasingly, passing and shooting range. Stats: rebounds, blocks, field-goal percentage, points.
The modern, position-less game
Positions are blurring — guards rebound, bigs shoot threes, and "3-and-D" wings are prized everywhere. Don't just claim a number; describe your role: "combo guard who defends both backcourt spots and shoots off movement." That clarity, backed by the right profile and stats, is what gets you found by the right teams. When you know your role, it's easier to get scouted by teams that need exactly what you do.
